Appraisers

Appraisers

Your Appraiser will then direct you into an appraisal bay where they’ll discuss the damages with you and put together an estimate for your vehicle collision repair. Depending on the extent of the damages, your Appraiser may also meet with you when you come to pick up your vehicle to review the completed repairs.

Bob loves the challenges that come with coordinating and communicating with the various parties involved during a vehicle repair, and also the variety of work that comes through the shop. His dream car would be a red ‘60s muscle car.

Ron’s co-workers call him one of the most hard-working people they’ve ever met, and it’s a good thing, because his work as an appraiser is certainly demanding. Ron enjoys the daily interactions he has with Empire customers and staff, and people are always uplifted by his good humour and positive attitude. Ron’s dream car is a red 2-door hard top ’60 Chevrolet Impala.
